I am so fed up with answering the same bloody questions about this wretched pope!
The latest reporter to ask me to comment was today, about pope Francis and his “robust stand on child sexual abuse by the clergy.”
PLEASE!!!!!
There IS no new stance, Francis is just churning out the same old platitudes and delaying nonsense as always.
The resignation and the new appointment was always a gigantic PR stunt, and they are behaving true to form. I cannot believe why anyone would actually listen to them – But they DO!
They tell me he is “different” has another “fresh perspective ” and is continuing the hard work started by the last pope! REALLY? REALLY?
Let us be very clear- this man has not suddenly been parachuted in from Mars to take over this role, he has been part of the wretched organisation for all of his adult life, and well informed about the issues! He is a politician, that much is clear, he would not have survived in Argentina so long had he not been so, and he is no more humble than the last one, or the one before that, because Humility is NOT in their remit.
Just listen to his language as he made the latest remarks, he said “The church’s credibility is at stake” NOT “We are guilty of heinous crimes against innocent children and need to make amends” NOT ” We need to open up to public scrutiny” NOT “We have damaged thousands of innocent lives and we want to put it right” NOT “We need to answer to the laws of the countries where our clergy have committed these crimes”
NOT “This must stop and we have to do the right thing by the thousands of individuals who’s lives will NEVER be the same” NOT “We are RESPONSIBLE, CULPABLE,ASHAMED” NO-
“the church’s credibility is at stake”
Well here’s the thing – Francis the church HAS no credibility, it has FAILED and you need to wake up and face the facts.
And how can I say this? It is because the whole issues is so very simple! You simply have to do the RIGHT THING! And time after time you refuse, covering your lack of compassion and contrition by further empty words.
Stop telling us what you will do, just listen to what WE are telling you to do! you can no longer be in the driving seat.
The reporter asked me yet again if I wanted a “Universal apology” ?
When are people going to understand that the very idea of an “apology” is absolutely offensive! These words are so cheap they aren’t worth anything at all, and they abuse us further by suggesting that “Sorry” even comes close to what they should be feeling!
The sickening thing is that the church does not have to do very much, there are too many naive and blind people doing the spin for them, by falling, yet again for the bullshit.
The reporter actually asked me what I respected about the pope!
So heres another thing – I DO NOT RESPECT HIM OR HIS OFFICE
respect is earned and they have proven incapable of earning it.
